About the author:
Rupantar has been the race director of the Sri Chinmoy Marathon Team since 1985, having been asked by Sri Chinmoy to serve in that capacity. As well as working on the big races the US Marathon Team organise each year - the 3100 Mile Race and the Six and 10 Day Race - he also spends a considerable amount of time archiving the Marathon Team's 40 year history on this website.
When the New York Road Runner's Club (NYRRC) - organisers of the New York City Marathon - hosted the 6-Day Race in 1983 (Downing Stadium, Randall's Island, New York), the Sri Chinmoy Marathon Team volunteered to assist their friend and NYRRC President Fred Lebow with the scoring of the race.
The NYRRC hosted the 6-Day race in both 1983 and 1984, and the Sri Chinmoy Marathon Team was responsible for the scoring in both years. Photo: Sri Chinmoy (l) was a frequent visitor to the 6-Day Race. Local runner Nathan Whiting (r) took part in the historic race.

"The Sri Chinmoy Marathon Team was wonderful in the job they did in scoring the race...Fred Lebow notes that they deserve special thanks for their efforts."
